BCOM is independent from Baylor and doesn't have a mascot. It's all weird in medicine. Like the Baylor College of Dentistry is actually part of the Texas A&M medical system.
what's funny about all of this is he was referring to the Wash U Bears... But you are right though, BCM is independent from Baylor Waco and has no sports teams besides intramural stuff. I think one of my classmates just posted above me... what up!
Man, do you have a trick or something to be able to memorize the brand names for all the generic drugs? I'm starting 4th year med school and that's something I'm scared about: how the hell am I supposed to memorize all these new names for drugs I already spent so much energy memorizing!! Plus I'm sick of whipping out medscape every time I need to figure out the generic name of a drug a patient mentioned.
There's really no trick, for me at least for brand names. Generics are so much easier, such as the "prils" for ACEIs or "lols" for beta blockers. When you see it enough times you'll know it.
Wow, seems like a few Baylor med students. What are your undergrad stats if you don't mind me asking?
Same man, Ob/Gyn. Couldn't study at all after step 1... I'm assuming your initials are DK, you obv know who I am...
haha, you have no problems memorizing the anatomy of the body but when it comes to drug names... :grin: Im sure youll have no problem
I recently graduated with a B.S. in Healthcare Administration and I am looking to get into the dual masters MPH and Bioinformatics at UT. No luck finding a job in the field so far unfortunately. Moe
So colleges really don't matter for med school? I have to start looking into colleges and applying. Anyone have suggestions about what colleges to look in to? I can pm anyone willing to give advice my gpa/sat/other stuff necessary Thanks in advance
undergrad: ut austin medical school: texas a&m (graduation 1 month away) yeah a&m's secondary did take a while but I'm glad I took the time to do it. rpr52121, did you already graduate or are you one of my classmates?
To start, just go to any university that's close to you, with a good support system. Get the best GPA + MCAT score you can. This is about 60-80% of your application, depending on which school you apply to. Research, shadowing, healthcare volunteering, extracurriculars, leadership, work, etc are important as well, but they are secondary to having a good GPA + MCAT.
The university you come from couldn't matter worth a damn. Get a good GPA, rock the MCAT and you're in (as long as you aren't a weirdo robot and bomb your interview).
